Rack-Wagon con wooden Wheels

Recensione del Modello Wiking in Scala 1:87

The Wiking rack-wagon shown here is sold alongside a Hanomag R 16 B All-Purpose Tractor, which is why the vehicle has been fitted con a modern shaft e tow ring. The wagon may be converted to a horse-drawn model by inserting a longer plug-in shaft without tow ring, scratchbuilt from extruded plastic sprue o pianowire.

The iron wheel rims need to be painted dark silver, e the factory new wagon should be drybrushed gray o sand colour to give it a more realistically weathered finish. The wagon may be loaded con dried grass o tea leaves preserved in glycerin.

Valutazione

Working scale model con interesting detail.
Historical rack-wagon del XVII al XX secolo.
The beautiful wood grain on the wagon bed may be accentuated by drybrushing con light brown paint.
The racks may be replaced by solid wood sides scratchbuilt from balsa. Wagons without sides may be shortened e fitted con wooden barrels to serve as water wagons in wargame campaigns.
Compatibile con altri veicoli e figurini in scala HO di Märklin, ROCO, Faller, Pola, Preiser, e Noch.

The typical rear axle assembly has not been recreated correctly in miniature, e the Langwied center beam is missing as well. The wheels need to be immobilized con superglue to prevent the wagon bed from slipping sideways, e to stop the model from rolling around on a diorama base. Expert modellers may want to scratchbuild the rear axle assembly from polistirolo e glue the rear wheels directly to it.
The iron wheel rims have been left unpainted. Some sprue needs to be removed prima di dipingere.
The modern shaft con tow ring needs to be replaced by a longer plug-in shaft to allow horses to pull the rack-wagon. The required part may be scratchbuild from extruded polistirolo sprue o pianowire.

The Wiking rack-wagon is perfectly suitable for historical miniature dioramas del XVII al XX secolo. Giocatori Wargame may use the rack-wagon as a requisitioned baggage o supply wagon. Suitable horses are available at model railroad e hobby shops. Spare artiglieria horses con harness e collar may be used as well.
